Dec-21-2014: First-Time K-Hound Scott Cone

My final ride for the K Hound
was special in several ways - people, place and time. We timed that
day's ride to also be during the winter solstice and I hit the 10,000K
spot just before the solstice. It was great to do the
ride with several of my Severna Park Peloton friends, including two who
joined me at LOL (Bryan and Earl), two members of my Fleche team (Bill
and Steve) and one of our newest RUSA members who I took on his first
RUSA 200k in October (Mick). It was nice to have friends along for this
and many of the other rides toward the end of the year as the days
turned colder and darker. The route was also one that I did numerous
times this year; many thanks to Gardner Duvall as he owns the four
routes that start in Severna Park.

The
challenge of getting to a K Hound was a great one. I really liked the
mix of perms and brevets and especially the big events (CCCR 1200, LOL
1000, Appalachian Adventure 1000)! ... Scott Cone
